Stratford Centre - a photo on Flickriver

Stratford Centre

            After seven months, my Statford experience comes to an end. 

On my first visit back in May, I came out of the train station on a lovely afternoon, and with time to kill, went straight to the renowned shopping centre I had heard so much about. 

It came as a bit of a shock, as it wasn't what I expected, and so I learn't about the two Stratfords. The glossy, shiny one north of the railway line, and the slightly less glamorous one to its south. 

Over the next few months, I found the Stratford Centre to be much more interesting than the Westfield one, and spent much time in it. As I left Stratford for the last time, it seemed appropriate to take one last walk through the Centre, and in doing so I saw its night time transformation taking place.

A right of way exists through the Centre meaning that it cannot be closed at night, and it has become an unofficail shelter for the homeless. It always surprised me how many people in Stratford were unaware of this.

The Stratford chapter ends - now to the somewhat leafier Kennington.
